Also, I couldn't pick up more than around 320km/h IAS in level flight at 5000m (this might be an 'okay' value for IAS @ 5km, but flight behaviour was bad) - except for some occurrences, probably influenced by wind, where the plane exhibited a pretty powerful downward trim and got to over 450km/h IAS, further complicating the downward trim. It's quite easily resolved by bold elevator input, but still, it's strange. Though I had to trim the elevators pretty far downward for level flight @ 5km in the first place.
Is that the right behaviour?
Edit: I noticed that the automatic Prop pitch seems to be stuck at 8:30. Is this a new or an already know issue?

I was coasting quite easily at 6.8k last night in an E4...7k you near stall speed and very tricky to handle..PP was working as it should for me and was given me optimum speed/power at relevant Alt
